We actually decided against the front lip...2 of our friends bought S's in the last few months and they both got the lip, side strape things and rear large spoiler, and after looking at them, to me, the stock lines of the car were just what we wanted...talked it over for a few days while deciding on the color and just figured we'd save the cash and maybe put it towards something else...they quoted us like $700 painted and installed at Honda, i dont know if that was dealer cost or what but i thought of alot more i wanted for $700...especially since we would have financed it in and paid alot more probobly.

But nothing against those with the lip...it does look damn good. Maybe down the road we'll grow to want something more aggresive up front, for now im still loving it. Thanks though man, she deffinately is loving the hell out of that car....though the break in period is kind of a bitch when you want to break her loose a few times.

Thanks folks...the ride height is probobly just the pics, though the tire gap is a little more than i would care for, the car sits pretty damn low, enough to where i have to work to get out of the damn thing.

We are deffinately enjoying it...though my burns on my head today would lead you to believe otherwise...haha.

oh yeah.. i got burned also.. when i first got the s.. hehehe.. didn't realize cause i was having to much fun hahahaha... but the break in period does suck, gotta keep the foot off the gas... but once you pass that period you'll be in the car 24/7... and with the highways down in georgia.... i don't think you'll ever go home..

Well after driving it around alot yesterday and my wife taking it out to the club last night in Atlanta...we surpassed 600 miles, so today i finally get to open her up a bit and take a trip up into the mountains, its crazy, i actually get anxious to drive this car like its a toy or something...great when your car can make you feel that way.

Damn nice cars. I love S2000's. Hopefully I can have one day and another car b/c I just don't know how practical having that as my primary driver would be. Until then I can only look at other people's.

Congrats on the S2000!

I have the exact same cars in my garage...just different colors. And the S2k is mine and the CL-S is hers.

True, I'm praying one shows up in the classifieds section. I really don't feel like spending 350-400 on a new one. The bottom of my front bumper has nasty road rash from the previous owner. OEM lip will cover that right up

Thanks folks for the props...the more i drive this car the more i love it, its a great roadster. Only thing is the space...my CL is just a comfort to drive, this car is a little more harsh on my long *** legs...but its worth it, especially taking her up to the mountains yesterday evening and opening it up to about 120mph on the highway in 5th...thats a heavenly sound and feeling, especially with the top down...about the closest thing to that was when i rode bikes, and even then it was a tad less dramatic because you know those things are missles on wheels, driving the car like that was a treat.

The lip is a discussion me and my wife have had over and over again since we bought it, and we are both in agreement that it would look good, but we are also enjoying the stock front end...and i didnt want to pay dealer cost for that lip. (we did however get a nice complimentary car cover yesterday before we left honda when we stopped by to let our sales guy...who is also a bud of mine...know how it was going)

No complaints at all from me thus far...even with the tight fitting cabin, the car is a pleasure to drive.
